Abstract
A link between a mobile station operating within a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) is checked either at the mobile station itself or within a Radio Network Controller (RNC) of the UMTS to determine an error rate greater than a threshold. If found to be operating at greater than the error rate threshold, the bitrate of the link is reduced. If more than one PDP context is present then the PDP contexts can be reduced one at a time, according to selected criteria, until the error rate is reduced below the threshold. Once the interference is reduced to a level that will support the services at their former level, the mobile station can once again begin freely operating at a bitrate between the minimum guaranteed bitrate and a maximum bitrate, commencing randomly if under the control of the mobile station, or according to a timed sequence if controlled from the RAN.
